awesome job!!!!

suggestion though, i dig the white background... but have you tried other colors?

[Thorsteenster]

I just got it up to show, the background won't be white when I get the home page launched.

[RockMonster]

Ok, where is the pony pasture? Not sure If I'll make it but if I can I neew to know where it's at . . .

[Scooteracing]

This should get you there:
James River
7200 Riverside Drive
Richmond, VA 23225

Stay on Riverside Dr. until you see a parking lot pull in there and go to the far right. Go down the trail stay to the right, go about a half a block, we will be on the left by the river.

i changed my mind im going to go with the highlift for a more sacle look and trail not as much rock crawling but some. and also isnt the high 2 high, 4low, 4high or is it somthin diiferent. thanks

[RockMonster]

looks good thor, make the background look like dirt or rocks or both. A woodsy look would look cool too. Just throwing ya some ideas . . . .

Good luck with that. Isn't that truck over $350? I thought you were on a tighter budget. If you are going to go that route, I'd consider pre-ordering the Toyota Hilux version from one of the vendors on here, that is if you can wait a while longer. For what you are spending on that truck alone though, you could build a capable RTR AX10 based crawler and about $120+ of that total you will have to pay in addition when you buy the High-Lift to get it RTR anyway so your looking at over $470+ min. for the High-Lift RTR

AX10 - $230
Moped ESC - $35
THQ RX/TX - $25
Integy 55T - $17
TP MG945 - $20
HH Batt. Pack - $20
Charger - $50

AX10 RTR- $397

Oh yeah, straight from TamiyaUSA.com

Sorry no pis from Sunday's GTG. We had a good time. Baldchris's truck is down. He will have to explain, not sure what happened. We had Frank3 bring his super/clod and there is plenty of big rocks for him. The river was up a bit but still 5 ft below the norm, so plenty of rocks to run on.

No pics. Thats too bad.:-( So what happened this time Chris, not the gear again was it? Joe, how did the new drooper do, did you run it?

[baldchris]

nothing to bad just some of the screws holding the trans together came loose. little dab of locktight on everything and I shoule be ok. going to stop tonight and try and get the parts to make the disconnect work.

I think scooterracing is going to be out of town but is any body else what to head out next weekend some time?

[swell searcher]

depending on how the cards fall (or drunk I am), i might be able to do something on Sunday in F-burg or Richmond. i'll be up in Baltimore for a bacholar party that weekend and heading back to VB sometime Sunday...

['04 Rubicon]

I know I can't make it this weekend. I'll be in NC with the carolinarockrunner guys for their Nov. 11th Comp/GTG. Then it'll probably be a couple more weeks until I'm free. We need to go check out the Fredricksburg spot next.

i like the way the hl look and i want a more scale / trail truck but if it takes to long ill probably get the ax10 becuase that could look like a trail truck somwhat scale.
